Racism?

I often find people look at me with suspicion or wariness when I look at them. I've noticed this doesn't happen to other people as much. I also sometimes get stared at if I go into a bar or on a bus.

I'm half-Jewish and in my family the genetics didn't go into my siblings and mother as much. I have more olive, dark skin and very Jewish looking hazy eyes.

Something that makes me wonder if it's racism is I've met two Spanish people recently and one Portuguese person and they were all really friendly with me, and of course, they have more olive coloured skin in those countries.

  • No offence to anybody reading this, but I'm a bit perturbed by the number of Jewish or Jewish in origin members of this forum who I have encountered over the years, despite such people comprising only a tiny fraction of the UK population. Are there any Muslim or Hindu members here? Religious groups which are far more numerous in terms of people living in the UK than Jews or Jewish origin are.
